4 Count Crayola Washable Sidewalk Chalk Character Themed Chalk: What's Inside the Box

I found the Crayola character themed 4 count side walk chalk at the Crayola Store in Kansas City. I love the different themes, Avengers, Minions, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Frozen. These character chalks feature colors that can be used to draw the character. The colors are very accurate to the chosen character they represent. The funny thing about the Frozen chalk is I thought I had bought it, and even looked at it in the store, but when I got home, I realized I had two Minions sidewalk chalk. I hope the Frozen one is available when I go back.

They along the same lines as the Target Pick Your Pack Boxes and Walmart Tip Collection boxes. I have described the overall set in another post, but split it up because there are so many pictures. This post shows what's inside all the Crayola Crayon minion boxes.

Crayola Minions Crayons and Pip•Squeaks Markers

To say the Minions movie is promoting the movie is an understatement. They are way promoting their movie. I have seen Minions inspired products everywhere! Toys, Play-Doh, Crayola Alive, anything marketed for a kid they have it. Disney really needs to learn a thing or two about the marketing. They did not have any Frozen items available, not a lot of Big Hero 6 items available when the movies were released. They could have made millions with all the merchandising. And I am sure my daughter would have eaten up Crayola Alive with any sort of Disney character.

Universal Studios partnered with Target and Crayola to release a special line of crayon and Pip•Squeaks boxes. They along the same lines as the Target Pick Your Pack Boxes and Walmart Tip Collection boxes. The marker boxes do not have names, but coordinate with the matching crayon boxes. The markers have pictures of all the Minions on them.

Color Alive Series: What's Inside the Book

The Color Alive series debuted in 2014 with the Barbie coloring book, but I did not see it in stores until 2015. I got my copies at Jo-Ann Fabrics. It seems like Jo-Ann's is always the first to have the new lines from Crayola, but they are also the most expensive. Luckily this day they matched the price that was on crayola.com.

How does Color Alive work? You download an app from Crayola and take a picture of the page either colored or not colored, it will work either way. The character will come alive and may even move. The character can be taken to other locations and pictures can be taken with the character. Click here for my complete review. My kids love these coloring books and even more now that there is a Frozen one we can color in.
